LVNV Funding LLC Sues Sheila Patton in Phillips County Over Contract Claims

LVNV Funding LLC has filed a new civil suit against Phillips County resident Sheila Patton in Arkansas Circuit Court, Phillips County, listing contract and quasi-contract claims. The case is styled LVNV Funding LLC v. Sheila Patton, docket number 54CV-26-31, and was filed on February 9, 2026.

The filing is recorded as a civil circuit - seller plaintiff matter in the court's public metadata and is described in one source as "New Suit." Beyond the headline case information, the materials supplied do not include the complaint text, an amount sought, an account number, or any attachments that would show the factual basis for the contract and quasi-contract allegations. There is no attorney information, proof of service, or hearing schedule in the available filing summary.

For Phillips County residents, the immediate implication is procedural. The matter is now on the county circuit court docket, which may generate future hearings, motions, or collection activity in local courts. Residents monitoring local civil dockets or parties named in similar litigation may see increased filings at the Phillips County courthouse. The filing does not, as provided, indicate whether it is part of a larger mass debt-collection campaign or a single-account dispute.

The plaintiff, LVNV Funding LLC, is a name that appears frequently in civil dockets elsewhere. A separate court excerpt shows LVNV Funding LLC listed as plaintiff in cases including LVNV Funding LLC, Plaintiff(s) vs. Jessie Kovacs, Defendant(s) (A-23-873209-C); LVNV Funding LLC, Plaintiff(s) vs. Shawn Greenough, Defendant(s) (A-23-875088-C); and LVNV Funding LLC, Plaintiff(s) vs. Gwendolyn Gonzales, Defendant(s) (A-23-872813-C). Those listings are in a different docket excerpt and do not supply additional detail about the Patton matter, but they do illustrate that LVNV is an active plaintiff in multiple civil proceedings.

Local legal observers and residents who receive notices related to debt claims should review court mail carefully and consider contacting the Phillips County Circuit Court clerk to confirm filings and deadlines. Because the complaint and any supporting documentation have not been made available in the filing summary, key specifics such as the amount sought, the original creditor, and the factual timeline remain unknown until the plaintiff's pleading is examined.

What comes next is procedural: the court docket will reflect whether a summons has been issued and when any initial hearing or response deadline occurs. Phillips County residents with questions about this case can check filings at the circuit court clerk's office to track further activity in 54CV-26-31 and to learn whether the matter will proceed to contested hearings.
